By Pranob Thachanthara

Hello and Welcome to our preview for Belagavi Panthers vs Bellary Tuskers match. We are covering BP vs BT Dream11 Team Prediction, Preview and Probable Playing XI for the KPL T20 match. The match is to be played at S.N. Raja Wadiyar Ground, Mysore, India.

Belagavi Panthers champions of KPL 2017 are yet to get a win in this year’s edition. Even the weather is not supporting them. Their last match was rescheduled to tomorrow due to bad weather and match before that was abandoned by rain. They lost their only completed match badly by 67 runs against Bengaluru Blasters. In that match, They failed miserably in both batting as well as bowling department. HS Sharath was the only positive with bat scoring 49 runs while S Binny took three wickets. They will hope to make a comeback tomorrow. They will have to take care of their NRR also which is -3.35.

Bellary Tuskers have not got a good start in the tournament and have lost their both matches. Their last match was abandoned by rain. They lost their last completed match against Mysore Warriors poorly by 7 wickets as all players could not perform in unison except R Kadam and D Padikkal who scored 60 runs each no other batsmen could cross the 10-run mark. A Kazi and S Akshay were the only positives with ball. An All round performance will be expected from all teammates for Tuskers to make a comeback.

A good encounter can be expected between both teams after an unwanted and unavoidable break of 5 days due to weather.
